Focaccia

Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever).  You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava)  1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water  Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Steak Fried Rice

You Will Need:
2 Cups Rice
2 lb. Steak (or Stew Meat, cut thinly)
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
2 pkgs Stir Fry Blend (Thai & Chinese)
2 Eggs, room temp
4 tbsp Butter, unsalted
Soy Sauce
Oil for cooking steak
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1. Start by bringing water to a boil, and your skillet (or wok) to heat; put on medium high heat and oil. 
2. Cut steak to bite size pieces, season steak and place in your hot pan; you should hear a nice sear when steak hits pan. Add soy sauce to pan while cooking. Cook 5-6 minutes or until desired done-ness.
3. Once water is boiling add rice in and cook according to package (all rice is different, mine cooks 10 minutes only). Drain and set aside.
4. Once steak is done, place on a clean plate and set aside. Place butter in pan and melt; place your stir fry blend in pan and season. Cook until done.
5. Again, remove stir fry blend, set aside
6. Add rice to your hot pan, soy sauce and butter fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Add in your stir fry blend, season, and cook. Then stir in steak, soy sauce and allow to heat for 5 minutes. 
7. Make a "well" in the middle of the pan; whisk eggs, and place eggs in the middle, scramble eggs.
8. Once egg are half way scrambled, stir them through the rice and continue to cook another 5 minutes. 
*I triple sometimes 4 times the recipe because this goes fast and we love leftovers.
